Numericable was a major French cable operator and telecommunications services company. Numericable was originally created in 2007 from the merger between former competitors Noos and NC Numericable networks. Numericable Group SA was founded in August 2013 to act as the parent company of Numericable group companies and to offer its shares on the stock exchange. The company provides cable broadband services in France, Luxembourg and Portugal, offering digital and analog television, Internet, and phone services to homes. From 2008, Numericable also offered mobile telephone services to its customers.[3]
It was the leading cable television provider and internet access provider in metropolitan France. From 2012, Numericable held the largest high-speed broadband network in France, including a small portion using optical fiber or FTTX.
On September 19, 2013, following failed talks with the French telecommunications company SFR, the company announced it had taken the first steps towards an initial public offering on the NYSE Euronext market in Paris.[4][5]
On March 5, 2014, Numericable, backed by its lead shareholder Altice, made an offer to buy Vivendi's SFR telecommunications affiliate, France's second largest. The bid is said to include about 11 billion euros ($15.2 billion) in cash, 3 billion euros in Numericable’s cable assets and a 750 million-euro capital increase by Altice. Numericable merged with SFR in November 2014 to form Numericable-SFR. In April 2016, the merged company adopted the SFR name across all its businesses.
The brand Numericable remained used to designate the SFR cable and fiber TV offers (which had more channels than SFR ADSL) until 2019.
